The Elvis: Peanut Butter, Banana and Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies image

Elvis Presley had a knack for making people swoon, and so does the flavor combination in this thick, sturdy cookie. It seems so wrong yet tastes so right: bacon, peanuts, chocolate and banana chips. It's unforgettable.

Time 13h10m

Yield about 24 cookie cups

Number Of Ingredients 14

10 slices bacon
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
1/2 cup chopped salted peanuts
1/2 cup sweet dried banana chips, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, then drain on paper towels. Once the bacon is cool, roughly chop it (you should have about 1/2 cup).
  • Combine the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, beat the butter, mayonnaise and sugars with a mixer at medium speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well blended. Add the peanut butter and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • At low speed, add the flour mixture in batches, beating until just combined. Using a wooden spoon, stir in the chocolate chunks, bacon, peanuts and banana chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Position the racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 muffin tins with paper liners.
  • Fill the muffin tins about halfway full with the batter (a 2-inch, 2-ounce ice cream scoop gives you just about the perfect amount, and helps prevent spilling).
  • Bake until the tops are slightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 30 minutes. (Keep in mind that the cookies won't rise and form a dome like a cupcake.) Let cool in the muffin tins on wire racks for about 10 minutes, then unmold the cookie cups and transfer them to the racks to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE CHIP, PEANUT BUTTER, AND BANANA COOKIES



Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Banana Cookies image

These yummy vegan cookies are free of butter, added sugar, and even eggs-the peanut butter and applesauce hold them together. But trust me when I say you won't miss the sugar. The sweet banana and abundance of chocolate more than make up for it.

Yield Makes 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 banana, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons all-natural peanut butter
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda. 3. In a large bowl, mash together the banana, peanut butter, applesauce, and vanilla with the back of a fork. Whisk in 1/3 cup water, scrape the sides, and mix well.
  • Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and stir together until just combined. Stir in the oats and chocolate chips.
  • Use a small ice cream scoop or spoon to drop ping pong ball-size dollops of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. They don't spread much, so they only need 1/2 inch of space between the cookies. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before devouring. You can freeze baked cookies in a gallon-size freezer bag for up to 3 months.
